Scripts do not move the opacity masks

• Hello need help with the opacity mask.

  Hello need help with the opacity mask. I hope someone out there can help

  I inherited a logo that appears to use a Logo of OM has a shape with a grad. This grad at first sight is not used in the Grad scheme and there is not editable.  Looking at the transparency palette I find an OM (pic1) output option. If I choose what the grad on separates it from the page of the form, that is from there I can change/remove as required (Note2).

  However, sometimes (he did no change), I'll be back to the same original form and output option is grayed out and is no longer available. Or I go to the similar shape that has the same treatment and I can't go out OM (pic3)

  The only difference is the thumbnail in the transparency palette, which is strong in pic1 and rated on pic3. What Miss me?    I'm not clear what the advantage is simply OM using the Grad palette to apply a grad in my form, but until I can get rid of OM who is there, I can't comfortably apply to the grad I want.

  The white gradient LHS I have no problem with. I choose fortunately only and each time get the possibility of release of OM.
  

  

  The other thing weird. When I select the white gradient. Sometimes, the exit option is in the palette without going through the drop-down list (Fig 4).

  Other times seems not that OM has already been applied, because the palette gives me the ability to mask rather than liberation (5 photos). Until I go to the drop down and then I find Release is an option after all.

  What is the difference here?   Not much of a problem, because either way I can release OM to be able to change the grad.

  The file is passed through several hands and play anywhere to try to resolve issues, and many stops and save slot, so something along the line was of course done a logo and not the other because of the difference, but I can't for the life of me see what that.

  

  I hope someone can help. Very appreciated

  
  

  See you soon

  Dave,

  I've (mis) understanding the issues, you can account for the box to the right in the main palette transparency (called thumbnail) here.

  Illustrator help | Transparency and blending modes

  represents the masking objects.

  Some of your screenshots show no object mask, so it only is not really a mask even if do the opacity mask has been clicked and there seems to be one in the layers palette, wherever you look.

  I think that it is perhaps the issue.

  Hi dove2k,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  You will need to enable the touchpad on the laptop itself.

  Find the area of the touch pad, you will find a button to enable or disable the touchpad.

  If the step above doesn't, try this step.

  Go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab
  Click (or to disable)

  

  Notes:
  On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. For example, ACER, just do Fn + F7.
  You can click on Reset device if none of these solutions work.

  If you still can't touch pad to work, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

• Why can I not move the photos in an album

  I've updated to 16 items. I want to put back some photos in an album. But when I try to drag the image to the selected place a circular symbol with a fallen on line diagonally appears instead of the arrow cursor. Why can I not move the photos in the album?

  Once you have selected an Album, the Album order, choose sort by drop-down list and then you should be able to move the images.

  Thank you

• Precomposed layer does not recognize the opacity setting (bug)

  Hello

  I have a very simple layer précomposé including a layer of unique text with a shadow (layer style). However, it does not recognize the opacity setting in the layer main, even when the value to 0%, and the playhead is not yet on the layer. If I change the opacity in the precomposed layer I see come to the main layer, but change the opacity in the main layer does nothing.

  I reported this to Adobe as a bug, someone at - it any other ideas?

  Thank you

  Antony

  

  There is a difficulty. Apply a layer to your demo style, then turns off all styles. CR will now evaluate the layer styles in your source model and make them in the proper order.

  

  Why it works? You must understand the operation of the CR. When you turn on the continuous rasterization the layer type is identified before any effect or transformations take place. That's why you can scale a vector without problems layer if CR is turned on. This explains why a 3D demo that contains a 2D layer will be rendered as a 2D layer.

  When you apply a layer Style you change the layer type in the same way you edit a type of layer from 2D to 3D. If you want to have transformations applied to the layer style in the source file, you must change the type of the pre-comp Layer Styles layer layer.

• Why the opacity mask texture does not work?

  I am trying to add a texture to a vector shape in Illustrator and I am doing it by creating an opacity mask. I try to use textures of paper for this. For some reason, it does not. First, I tried to paste the texture after clicking on the area of opacity mask in the transparency window. It didn't work, so I tried a suggestion I saw in the forum and stacked two layers, as you would for a clipping mask and some times and it still doesn't work. Instead of a paper texture, rectangle remains a solid color. I thought that this could be because the documents I used were too subtle, a texture so I tried to use a stronger texture. He always remained a flat color. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. Is there something on my settings or preferences that is the cause?

  I put your texture on a yellow form with black wavy lines.

  That seems to work. I put a red rectangle on a layer below to show what is the mask.

  The result is perhaps too subtle for the black lines (just like painting on paper with a solid black ink).

  I would try to hide the separate lines of the yellow background with a more varied texture.

  

• Script will not apply the paragraph style

  Hello

  I'm new to scripting in InDesign (CS3), and I'm trying to understand why the scipt below does not apply a style in the following text file? :

  < ASCII-WIN >

  < ParaStyle: Heading 1 > who are we? < ParaStyle >:

  For ease of reading, I have shortend the text file to just two lines.

  The script that I use to open and to format the text file is:

  Create a new document.

  myDocument var = app.documents.add ();

  Set the units of measure and the origin of the rule.

  myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

  myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

  myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;

  Get a reference to the first master spread.

  var myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0);

  Get a reference to preferences on the margins of the first page in the Master spread.

  var myMarginPreferences = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0) .marginPreferences;

  Now set up the page margins and columns.

  myMarginPreferences.left = 4;

  myMarginPreferences.top = 70;

  myMarginPreferences.right = 70;

  myMarginPreferences.bottom = 78;

  myMarginPreferences.columnCount = 2;

  myMarginPreferences.columnGutter = 14;

  The margins of page and columns for the right-hand page.

  var myMarginPreferences = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1) .marginPreferences;

  myMarginPreferences.left = 48;

  myMarginPreferences.top = 70;

  myMarginPreferences.right = 70;

  myMarginPreferences.bottom = 78;

  myMarginPreferences.columnCount = 3;

  myMarginPreferences.columnGutter = 14;

  Adding Master Page items

  var myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0);

  var myLeftPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0);

  var myRightPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1);

  var myLeftFooter = myLeftPage.textFrames.add ();

  myLeftFooter.geometricBounds = [70, 742, 728, 528];

  myLeftFooter.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

  myLeftFooter.contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber;

  myLeftFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .pointSize = 11;

  myLeftFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .leading = 14;

  var myRightFooter = myRightPage.textFrames.add ();

  myRightFooter.geometricBounds = [48, 742, 728, 542];

  myRightFooter.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

  myRightFooter.contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber;

  myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .pointSize = 11;

  myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .leading = 14;

  myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .justification = Justification.rightAlign;

  Adding master text frames

  var myLeftPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0);

  var myRightPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1);

  var myLeftTextFrame = myLeftPage.textFrames.add ();

  myLeftTextFrame.geometricBounds = [70, 70, 714, 528];

  myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

  myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 3;

  myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter = 14;

  Add a label to make the image easier to find later.

  myLeftTextFrame.label = "BodyTextFrame";

  var myRightTextFrame = myRightPage.textFrames.add ();

  myRightTextFrame.geometricBounds = [70, 48, 714, 542];

  myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

  myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 3;

  myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter = 14;

  Add a label to make the image easier to find later.

  myRightTextFrame.label = "BodyTextFrame";

  Link the two frames using the nextTextFrame property.

  myLeftTextFrame.nextTextFrame = myRightTextFrame;

  The substitution of Master Page points and adds text

  var myTextFrame = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0).pages.item (1).textFrames.item (0) .override (myDocument.pag es.item (0));

  Add text by setting the contents of the insertion of a string.

  In JavaScript, "\r" is a return character.

  .silence myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item (0) = "dok\r";

  Adding and applying a paragraph Style

  var myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("title 1");

  try {}

  var myName = myParagraphStyle.name;

  }

  {} catch (MonErreur)

  //The style of paragraph don't have not exist, so create it.

  myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.add ({name: 'Title 1'});

  }

  We need to create a color. Check if the color already exists.

  myColor var = myDocument.colors.item ("Green");

  try {}

  myName = myColor.name;

  }

  {} catch (MonErreur)

  //The color have not exist, so create it.

  myColor = myDocument.colors.add ({name: 'Green', model: ColorModel.process, colorValue:[100,0,100,0]});})

  }

  Now set the formatting of the paragraph style.

  myParagraphStyle.appliedFont = "Arial";

  myParagraphStyle.fontStyle = "Bold";

  myParagraphStyle.pointSize = 24;

  myParagraphStyle.spaceAfter = 24;

  myParagraphStyle.spaceBefore = 24;

  myParagraphStyle.fillColor = myDocument.colors.item ("Green");

  Apply the style to the paragraph.

  myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item (0).paragraphs.item (0) .applyParagraphStyle (myParag raphStyle, true);

  You can also use:

  myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item (0).paragraphs.item (0) .appliedParagraphStyle = //myParagraphStyle;

  I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
  Thanks in advance.

  Hey, Ron.

  The problem has nothing to do with your script. You can see if you attempt to place the file from indesign tagged text by hand.

  Your instinct for divide and conquer for debugging is a good - have a short text file to work with is very useful - of course this is also true for the script.

  During the validation of the scripts on the forum, please do not use the syntax insert > feature Java which lies behind the > arrow in the toolbar. Otherwise, cut and paste your script are difficult requiring manual corrections.

  Anyway, your problem is that each paragraph can have only a single paragraph style, and it's the last one that you define.

  So in your IDTT file, you set the heading 1 paragraph style, enter the content of the paragraph and then set the style of paragraph votes to zero.

  If you have included a line break before setting the style of paragraph votes to zero, you must set the None style for the following paragraph. But since you have not, it resets just the style to the current paragraph.

  In short: success back before .

• Why you can not move the address bar to FF 29.1 and put in place if you wish?

  I hate this version of FF sucks, my set up disappeared (it took forever to put upward the way I liked it and it's just been eliminated in a single update what horror) and I tried to put it was, but it seems that you can not. I love FF in black including my menu bookmark I have poor eyesight and it is much easier to read, FF is black OK, but I can't get the bookmark, menu has changed the way that it used to be. Also can you change the LEGS down. You also don't seem to be able to move the address bar it's stuck on the right side of the page to the most ridiculous place, it might be. I appreciate if anyone has any ideas that could help me I'd love to hear from you, Bravo and thank you for taking the time to read my problems. I hope 30 FF will improve or it will be IE and not more FF.

• I can not move the files to a folder in windows XP, only to copy them, and I get the windows error. This happens on any file or folder.

  I use XP Pro SP 3 and I'm having a problem with moving the files from one folder to another, no matter where the folder or files. If I try to move a file, it crashes and it cannot be opened or used. If I move a folder, then crashes all the contents of the folder, and I can't even open the folder, it tells me access is denied, this nothing else. If I try to delete the file, then I get a prompt to error telling me that the file or folder is not accessible, and that access is denied and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If I try to move the files corrupt in another folder, this time I get the message "Unable to move or replace" the file in question and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If it is a document as a text file, then I can open the file and there is a prompt indicating that access is denied. I can then use the text document and save something, but if I close the document and then try to reopen it, all the changes are lost.
  It is not this problem if I move the files to an external device or disk drive.
  I am running as an administrator.
  Right now, if I need to move a file, I copy it to its destination, which is possible and then delete the original file. With the help of a release program was the only way I could delete these files, which could no longer be used.

  Hello Closrapexa, welcome.

  1. do you have this problem started recently?

  I recommend trying the system restore to bring the system back to a State before the problem started. Try this:

  1. click on START

  2. click on "all programs".

  3. click on "Accessories".

  4. click on "system tools."

  5. click on "system restore."

  6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

• I can't access my layers after the opacity mask is applied.

  I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS6

  When I apply an opacity mask to one of my layers. It changes the Panel layers in a way that I can't access long one of my other layers, only the mask of opcacity layer shows up.

  I am able to access my other layers at any time?

  Thanks for your time.

  When you create an opacity mask, you are placed in the mask editing mode. It's sort of a sudo isolation mode that allows editing targeted object mask (s). You will need to click on the thumbnail of the object (highlighted in red in the image below) to go back to edit the actual objects in the file.

  

• shape paths after using the opacity mask and import to photoshop

  Okie dokie people help me here. In which case it is important

  MacBook

  OSX lion

  HAVE CS5

  I created this logo in Illustrator. I did my Masters with a pen tool, put a grunge texture of vector on the top of the forms and then used "make opacity mask" for my grunge effect. As you can see in the screenshot of my illy is all very clean and looking like it should. When you open my other photo you can see that as soon as I transferred (cmd + cmd copy + paste) the logo in PS you can now see pale lines where the forms used to be * highlighted in red *. I also tried place the .ai file in ps, but got the same effect. I use all colors pantone on the logo, the two documents are placed at 300 dpi... uh I don't see anything else. PS is in RGB, Illustrator is CMYK (but using Pantone)

  What gives, how do I get my logo to look in PS as well as in Illustrator?

  Michael

  Simple. Your opacity mask black is dark gray.
